¥/ HAWAII STATEHOOD 6K EXECUTIVE SESSION H. R, 50 ¥/ HAWAII STATEHOOD 6k THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1959 House of Representatives Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs Washington, D. C. The committee met, pursuant to recess, at 10 a.m. in the committee room, New House Office Building, Honorable Leo W.AO'Brien, acting chairman of the committee, presiding. Mr. O'Brien. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs will be in order. We have met this morning for the purpose of marking up a bill providing statehood for Hawaii. I yield to the distinguished Chairman of the Full Committee. Mr. Aspinall. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that we proceed to mark up H. R. 50, with the understanding that when the bill is marked up and receives the approval of the committee, a new bill, a clean bill will be introduced at that time, and it will be sponsored by whosoever the committee at the time desires to sponsor it. Mr. O'Brien. Is theredbjection to the request of the gentleman? t**r^ 2 The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. (Discussion off the record.) Mr. Saylor. Mr. Chairman? Mr. Aspinall.(presiding). The gentleman from Penesylvanfa. Mr. Saylor. I think that practically all of the members of the committee are in accord on the basic provisions of this bill, and so there will be no question about it. I ask unanimous consent that, if at any time after we have moved on from reading a section, there is bona fide effort to correct a found mistake in the bill in the language, that we be permitted to return to that section. Mr. Aspinall. Unless there is an objection, that will be the order. Hearing no objection, the clerk will read. Mrs. Arnold (reading). Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That, subject to the provisions of this Act, and upon issuance of the proclamation required by section 7(c) of this Act, the State of Hawaii is hereby declared admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the other States in all respects whatever, and the constitu- tion formed pursuant to the provisions of the Act of the Territorial Legislature of Hawaii entitled "An Act to provide for a constitutional convention, the adoption of a State constitution, and the forwarding of the same to the Congress 3 of the United States, and appropriating money therefor", approved May 20, 1949 (Act 334, Session Laws of Hawaii, 1949), and adopted by a vote of the people of Hawaii in the election held on November 7, 1950, is hereby found to be republican in form and in conformity with the Constitution of the United States and the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and is hereby accepted, ratified, and confirmed. Mr. Aspinall. Are there any amendments proposed to section 1? Is there any question that any member of the committee has onthe contents of section 17 Hearing no proposed amendments and no questions, the clerk willoontinue to read. Mrs. Arnold (reading). The State of Hawaii shall consist of all the islands, together with their appurtenant reefs and territorial waters, included in the Territory of Hawaii on the date of enactment of tis Act, except the atoll known as Palmyra Island, together with its appurtenant reefs and territorial wars, but said State shall not be deemed to include the Midway Islands, Johnston Island, Sand Island (offshore from Johnston Island), or Kingman Reef, together with their appurtenant reefs and territorial waters. Mr. Aspinall. Are there any proposed amendments to section 2, or is there any question that anyone wishes to ask on section 27 - : I Mr. Rogers. A parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Aspinall. The gentleman from Texas. Mr. Rogers. Are we operating under the rule that once this is read you cannot go back and offer an amendment? Mr. Aspinall. We are operating under that rule, providing that is someone has an amendment he wishes to propose to that section that is being considered, if the person proposing that amendment wishes to reserve the right to come back to it, he may do so. Mr. Rogers. I was going to say, we have moved so fast t I have had trouble holding my seat and no chance to prepare amendments. Mr. Aspinall. Does the gentleman have an amendment to section 2? Mr. Rogers. No now. Mr. Aspinall. Does the gentleman plan to have an amendment at any time to section 2? Mr. Rogers. I do not know. Mr. Edmondson. Mr. Chairman, may we go back to a technical question here on page 17 Mr. Aspinall. Unless there is an objection, we will refer back. Is there any objection to referring back? Hearing no objection, it is so ordered. Mr. Edmondson. Line 5, page 1, refers in H. R. 888 to the Territory of Hawaii, and at the same line H. R. 50 refers 5 to the State of Hawaii. I wonder if the more exact language might not be to use the word "territory." -- "the Territory K, of Hawaii is hereby declared to be a State of the United States of America,". Mr. Saylor. In response to that, even though I am the author of H. R. 888, on its counterpart, we have found that is the language that was used for the Alaska Statehood bill, and we have had the staff check practically all of the recent bills admitting states into the Union, and they have been to admit states and not territories. MY. Aspinall. Is there any further discussion? Mr. Rogers. Mr. Chairman, let me make this observation: Of course, I think I am going to have an amendment, but rather than hold up these proceedings, I want the record to show that the statement was made here so that the issue will not be raised on the floor that an amendment was not offered in committee in arguing against the amendment. Just so that the committee will understand that there are two things involved here: One is the fact that we may not be taking in enough in the State of Hawaii, as I think was included in the statement of Mr. Poage yesterday in regard to other islands. Mr. Aspinall. Let me answer your first question. Mr. Rogers. Yes. Mr. Aspinall. Of course, no member of the committee, --- --- f 6 as well as no member of the House, is bound by the decision of the committee to such an extent that amendments will not be in order on the floor of the House, regardless of whether or not it was considered by the committee when marking up the bill. As to what the proponents of the bill or the spoasor of the bill might say in his position on the floor as he answers the proposed amendment, the Chair is unable to say. But I think my colleague will agree with me that we have always permitted any member of the committee to make an amendment. Mr. Rogers. I understand the legal side, but I was thinking about the practical side. Sometimes those arguments appear on the floor, and I do not want anybody to think I was asleep over here. M:. Aspinall. Nobody would every accuse my friend of being asleep when it comes to a statehood bill. Mr. Rogers. The next thing I have in mind would have to do with the territory that is included within the State of Hawaii. Am I correct in my understanding that what is referred to in section 2 includes eight separate islands and pertinent reefs, and that is all that -skes up the Territory of Hawait and all that will make up the State of Hawaii? Mr. Aspinall. I think the gentleman's last statement 5 7 is correct; that is, that is all that will make up the State of Hawaii. I will let the delegate from Hawaii answer as to whether or not there is any other property or any other islands at the present time other than the eight islands to which Mr. Rogers makes reference that is incorporated presently in the Territory of Hawaii. Mr. Burns. It has generally been held, by reason of the admission bill, that there was a title to Midway and your train of islands running out to Midway within the Territory of Hawaii, and that is why this is specifically limited to the eight islands. The Kingdom of Hawaii exercised some title in there that has never been actually clear. Mr. Rogers. As I understand it, what constitutes the Territory of Hawaii now includes the eight islands we are talking about plus the exceptions that you set out here, plus Midway, Johnston, and I do not know whether these others are included. Mr. Burns. May I answer the gentleman this way: There is a color of claim to the other islands which we take out here. Mr. Rogers. Who else has a color of claim to that? Mr. Burns. They are possessions of the United States. Mr. Rogers. How many islands are there? *^vnwsuw *" -- "" 8 Mr. Burns. I am afraid I cannot answer the gentleman. It runs up in great number. Mr. Rogers. Why are not those included in this bill as part of the state? Mr. Burns. There is nobody there. That is one reason basically -- there are no living persons on them. They are simply atolls or coral reefs in the middle of the ocean, Mr. Rogers. Who owns the island that sticks up between Japan and Hawaii, sticks up about two thousand feet? But that would not be included.

This stranger was Worthington C. Ford, Chief of the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, then on his way to Manila to inspect the archives of the Philippine Islands. Listed as bound for Hong Kong, Ford had arrived in port the preceding afternoon aboard the liner Korea of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co., less than 5 days out of San Francisco.1 Doubtless he called on Alexander as the corre- sponding secretary of the Hawaiian Historical Society and the leading Hawaiian historian of his day. In his diary Alexander recorded the visit with this brief note: "Mr. W. C. Ford of the Congressional Library called, to inquire about the Govt Archives."2 Ford learned that the records of the defunct Kingdom of Hawaii were for the most part in Honolulu in various government buildings, particularly in Iolani Palace, which served as the Territorial Capitol. The Secretary of Hawaii was charged with the duty of keeping the legislative and diplomatic archives of the Kingdom, but his custody of them was only legal and perfunctory, with little or no attention given to their preserva- tion. Other records of the monarchy officials were in the care of their successors under the Territory of Hawaii.

  • Constitutional Issues Relating to Jury Trials
    Hawaii Attorney General Legal Opinion 97-02 March 10, 1997 The Honorable Avery S. Chumbley The Honorable Matt M. Matsunaga Co-Chairs, Senate Committee on Judiciary The Nineteenth Legislature State of Hawaii State Capitol Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Dear Senators Chumbley and Matsunaga: Re: Constitutional Issues Relating to Jury Trials This is in response to your memorandum dated February 12, 1997, asking whether Senate Bill No. 201, titled "A Bill for an Act Relating to Jury Trials," presents any constitutional problems.1 Senate Bill No. 2012 permits the court to specify by rules the required number of jurors to sit on civil and criminal trials. The bill also authorizes parties to stipulate to a jury of less than twelve, but not less than six jurors. Finally, the bill requires cases involving "non-serious crimes" to be tried by juries of six persons. The constitutional provisions applicable to your inquiry are the Sixth and Seventh Amendments to the United States Constitution and sections 13 and 14 of article I of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii. While we see no federal constitutional objection to the use of a six-person jury in trials before the courts of this state (other than for "serious crimes," which are not covered by the proposed legislation), we believe that a constitutional amendment must be made to section 13 of article I of the State Constitution before a jury of less than twelve persons may be used for civil matters when the parties do not stipulate to a smaller jury panel. The proposed legislation does not conflict with the mandates of section 14 of article I of the Hawaii Constitution with regard to permitting a jury of six persons in cases involving "non-serious crimes." However, the existing provision in section 806-60, Hawaii Revised Statutes, that a "serious crime" triggering a right to a jury trial means a crime for which the defendant may be imprisoned for six months or more is erroneous given recent Hawaii Supreme Court caselaw.

  • War and the Birds of Midway Atoll
    THE CONDOR VOLUME 48 JANUARY-FEBRUARY, 1946 NUMBER 1 WAR AND THE BIRDS OF MIDWAY ATOLL By HARVEY I. FISHER and PAUL H. BALDWIN Concern about the fate of the Laysan Rail and the Laysan Finch and about the possible effect of war activities on insular populations of birds in the Hawaiian Archi- pelago led the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Board of Agriculture and Forestry of the Territory of Hawaii to make a survey of the bird life of Midway Atoll. The United States Navy cooperated in furnishing air transportation to and from Midway. This report combines the observations of Baldwin who represented the federal bureaus, and of Fisher who represented the territorial board. ,The original plan was to capture, if possible, rails and finches for transplanting back to their original home, ‘Laysan Island, and to observe the effects of the war on populations of birds at any islands visited. A careful search from May 7 to 18, 1945, convinced us that no rails or finches re- mained on either Eastern or Sand islands, the two islands constituting Midway; conse- quently, we did not go to Laysan but spent the entire time observing the birds on Mid- way. We attempted to obtain accurate estimates of the number of colonies and of the sizes of the populations of the various species.‘This information was to provide the basis for comparing present bird life with pre-war bird life to determine the trend of the populations. Subsequent perusal of published notes and articles, however, indicated that few observers had estimated the numbers of birds present, and those doing so did not distinguish between breeding and migrating individuals and did not record the means by which they arrived at their estimates.

  • 1840 Constitution
    THE FIRST CONSTITUTION OF HAWAII Granted by Kamehameha III, October 8, 1840. DECLARATION OF RIGHTS, BOTH OF THE PEOPLE AND CHIEFS. "God hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on the earth," in unity and blessedness. God has also bestowed certain rights alike on all men and all chiefs, and all people of all lands. These are some of the rights which He has given alike to every man and every chief of correct deportment; life, limb, liberty, freedom from oppression; the earnings of his hands and the pro- ductions of his mind, not however to those who act in violation of the laws. God has also established government, and rule for the purpose of peace ; but in making laws for the nation it is by no means proper to enact laws for the protection of the rulers only, without also providing protection for their subjects; neither is it proper to enact laws to enrich the chiefs only, without regard to enrich- ing their subjects also, and hereafter there shall by no means be any laws enacted which are at variance with what is above ex- pressed, neither shall any tax be assessed, nor any service or labor required of any man, in a manner which is at variance with the above sentiments. PROTECTION FOR THE PEOPLE DECLARED. The above sentiments are hereby published for the purpose of protecting alike, both the people and the chiefs of all these islands, while they maintain a correct deportment; that no chief may be able to oppress any subject, but that chiefs and people may enjoy the same protection, under one and the same law.

  • Treaty of Annexation of Hawaii
    Treaty of Annexation of Hawaii Negotiated in 1897 (Never ratified by the United States) The United States and the Republic of Hawaii, in view of the natural dependence of the Hawaiian Islands upon the United States, of their geographical proximity thereto, of the preponderant share acquired by the United States and its citizens in the industries and trade of said islands and of the expressed desire of the government of the Republic of Hawaii that those islands should be incorporated into the United States as an integral part thereof and under its sovereignty, have determined to accomplish by treaty an object so important to their mutual and permanent welfare. To this end the high contracting parties have conferred full powers and authority upon their respectively appointed plenipotentiaries, to-wit: The President of the United States, John Sherman, Secretary of Sate of the United States. The President of the Republic of Hawaii, Francis March Hatch, Lorrin A. Thurston, and William A. Kinney. ARTICLE I. The Republic of Hawaii hereby cedes absolutely and without reserve to the United States of America all rights of sovereignty of whatsoever kind in and over the Hawaiian Islands and their dependencies; and it is agreed that all territory of and appertaining to the Republic of Hawaii is hereby annexed to the United States of America under the name of the Territory of Hawaii. ARTICLE II. The Republic of Hawaii also cedes and hereby transfers to the United States the absolute fee and ownership of all public, government or crown lands, public buildings, or edifices, ports, harbors, military equipments, and all other public property of every kind and description belonging to the Government of the Hawaiian Islands, together with every right and appurtenance thereunto appertaining.

The reason is, they want to rip the 50th star off the American flag and return Hawaii to its former status as an independent nation. And through this resolution they want to enlist you legislators as collaborators in their treasonous propaganda campaign. The strongest evidence that this is their motive is easy to see in the "whereas" clauses of this resolution and in documents provided by the NEA and the HSTA which are filled with historical falsehoods trashing the alleged U.S. "invasion" and "occupation" of Hawaii; alleged HCR179, HR148 Page !1 of !10 Conklin HSE EDN 031821 suppression of Hawaiian language and culture; and civics curriculum in the early Territorial period. Portraying Native Hawaiians as victims of colonial oppression and/or belligerent military occupation is designed to bolster demands to "give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians", thereby producing a race-supremacist government and turning the other 80% of Hawaii's people into second-class citizens.
